SO EXCITED THIS MORNING- I posted in December about the guy who was speeding down our street and took out a telephone pole, our fences, a tree, our flowerbed, and hit our house.... well many thanks to him, we are using the settlement from his insurance to put in a REAL DRIVEWAY- no more icky gravel for the kids to spread into the grass and throw, and no more ugly flagstones to trip up on our way up to the house!

The kids will finally have a place to play hopscotch, sidewalk chalk, and ride bikes, scooters, and skates... our street is not safe enough to let them out because of all the big trucks and speeders. Not to mention my then-2-year-old busted the back window out of my van last summer throwing gravel from the driveway and I am so glad that won't happen anymore!


Oh yeah this is the Cream Legbar thread... had a hatch this weekend, got 6 girls total and 4 boys total, love love love them they are so sweet! Some are mine and some are from a swap with GaryDean26.

I am in your boat and will get hatching eggs in a couple of months! Are you from England? I saw in another thread that you spelled color with a 'u' so I had to ask. Are you going to get some of these beauties?
 
So as i delve in to cream legbars ( i plan on getting about 4-5 dozen eggs in the next couple months), i can't under stand the breeding thoughts or lack-there-of that were put into the Legbars in the American Side.

When chickens are imported from other countires a small portion is brought in representing a healthy cross-section of the whole gene-pool from the other country, lets call this the invasion :). But after the invasion chickens are ussally spilt up into smaller groups, than breed some more, and line breeding traits, and just plain old inbreeding. And from their we get a depression from inbreeding and than we lose the breed. So basically what i am saying here is that the population should stay togather as a group as long as possible ( i would like to say 5 generations at a min or 5 years what ever time is longer) so they have time to adapt to the new environment and mix the genes around really good.

Well i must start planning my trip to England to 'learn more about my English heritage' ;) <read> pick up some more Light Sussex, and Cream Legbars </read>
 
Have to vent. I was on craigslist like always and came across an ad for cream legbars so I had to check it out. Well, it is a kid selling cream legbar day old chicks only in trios to people who "agree not to mongrelize them because once the autosexing trait is lost, it is gone forever" He is selling trios for $125 to pay for college. I called and asked what lines they are from and he was all sorts of grumpy and defensive about it when he said that there was only 1 line from GFF and that they were direct imports. I had to slow him down and tell him there were different lines and that I got mine in February as line a and line c. He said he got his at the end of february and there was only 1 line available. Then he says in the ad that he has the only CLB's in the whole state which is really a lie. So, I posted an ad on craigslist for our farm that we're taking pre-orders for chicks hatched at the end of the month and I'm selling them for much cheaper because I want more folks to have them so there is more diversity.

Sorry, just had to get it off my chest, the guy seemed so snippy about the whole thing
 
Hey:), yup you guessed it! i live in a town called tonbridge in England. Some of our friends have chickens and i think we just caught the chicken bug!
We are getting three CL pullets on the 16th of april and two bluebells :D
